How do I fit these four different vertical exaggerations onto one page with the data I was given?

I am given a set of elevation points, depth in this situation, for four different locations. I need to make 4 topographic profiles fit all on the SAME SHEET OF PAPER. The hardest part is you must have one of each specified vertical exaggeration.

Must have one of each:
500X
100X
10X
0

Doesn’t matter which ones are which, but that’s the trick because it does(at least I think that’s the case).

Vertical Exaggeration(VE) = (horizontal scale)/(vertical scale)

ELEVATION POINTS:

Distance(km) Depth(m)
British 500 0
Coast 1000 200
1250 4500
1750 4600
2250 3660
3125 1830


Azores 3250 200
3500 200
3750 1830
5000 3660
6250 5500
6500 5500
7000 5500
7500 5500
7650 5500


Puerto Rico 7750 8800
7875 1830


San Juan 8000 0
8125 1830
8250 3660
8750 3600
9500 3600
9875 1830
9950 200
